A few incidentals in Cairns was on the cards this morning before moving up the mountainside to Kuranda.<span><span>We did not have the chance to stay long in this little village a few weeks ago so we were back to see what it had on offer.

First impressions were that it was an alternative spot of the world and I learned today that this was the case as during the 70s the village was a bit of a hippie haven.<span> Kuranda has its fair share of tourists and the markets that are open daily are a big drawcard.<span> We sauntered around for a few hours and were particularly impressed with a local honey shop and the vendor selling homemade icecream.

On our way out of the village we stopped to see Barron Falls.<span> Kuranda is set among mountain rainforest and the views along the boardwalk at the Falls were what we have come accustomed to in far-north Queensland....amazing.
